I'm facing a weird prob, i learnt abt spicework frm various online communities, so i decided to give it a go in our network, well i have followed the procedures to how move devices frm unknown, i mean identifyin them on the network,.... well but one machine is acting weird.... its a windows xp workstation, i tried the same procedure that i did on other machines to get them identified:

1. netsh firewall set service remoteadmin enable

2. secpol.msc-> classic authentication

but this machine is still givin me the error "No open ports for this device were found to be responding. This typically means that there is a firewall or permission issue preventing remote access. Please see the help section"

the above procedure worked absolutely fine for all the machines except this one...

so is there anythin that i'm missin n needs to look into.. well the comm is really great... i've read many posts n they are really very helpful..... :)

yes it did.... actually the scenario was like the antivirus was installed on that machine... it was monitoring the ports... the user must have tried to uninstall it, but as its said for norton... don't expect a clean uninstallation.... so, try to wipe out norton completely..... http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039... check out this link... i'm sure it'll help u...

As per ur suggestion i tried connecting to WMI but i got an error mesg stating: Failed to connect 000-000-000-000 because "Win32: The RPC service is unavailable", its not a windows xp home its a professional.... n wat do u mean by other credentials... can u provide more details regardin it

well i don't think so the problem is with the user credential, as i've created an admin account on it and am using that to identify that machine on the network... welll i think i'lll check WMI and DCOM settings

sorry 4 late reply... i've been busy with configuring windows stuff, i've not been able to find any good solution for sortin out the issue, regardin that WMI and DCOM thing, can u tell me how to check whether the services are runnin normally as they shod?

Well i tried to connect to other machines WMI but i got the same error "Win32: The RPC service is unavailable", but i'm able to authenticate those machines...

well now i've tested everythin possible, everythin i've read in this comm. so far... frm checkin the wmi and dcom settings to the basic fixtures.... i've joined that machine in the domain also... still i'm gettin the same old error "No open ports for this device were found to be responding. This typically means that there is a firewall or permission issue preventing remote access. "
